In case you haven’t had enough baseball, John Cohrs of Central Indiana Hardware sent me this photo of the bullpen door from last night’s World Series game (nice hardware!). I can just imagine the scene…“HOLD ON GUYS! I HAVE TO TAKE A PHOTO FOR LORI!” 🙂

It turns out that bullpen doors have problems just like the rest of the doors we see every day, but the mishaps are more likely to be caught on camera…

I have used the 98/99 series on exterior applications, but I prefer 55 or 88 series. With anything sports-related though…I would use a touchpad device rather than a crossbar device. Locker rooms, hockey rinks, etc., get a lot of abuse and often don’t get a lot of maintenance, so the touchpad devices will hold up better. When using a touchpad device on the exterior, I specify weep holes in the mechanism case, and the internal parts should be very well lubricated to prevent corrosion.
